My IR receiver on my Amp is quite large and hard to tell exactly where it lies behind the plastic panel. Maybe you have a similar situation? Try holding the blaster away from the Amp a few cm's and try blasting. You might not be exactly on the sensor.
@gumdigger: I've did have some problems with the "LM Blaster" service not starting. This is probably the cause of your machine not blasting. Go into My Computer > Manage > Services and manually start the service. While you are there, go to the Recovery tab, and put "Restart the Service" for the first 3 options. When working, you should see the LED on the end of the wire blink.

still no blink. I also tried to place the receiver in the same location where i had success with IR learning.
Do you have the round LM Remote Keymap icon in the system tray?
Assuming you do... right-click it, and set Log Trace Level to Verbose. Then right-click it again and select View Live Trace, which will open a new window with info about what is actually going on. Do a blast and see what it says.

When i press the learnt keys on the original or Harmony remote it shows no traces. However i tried to manually test the button via the software and it worked perfectly. This means its the receiver or my remote. Do i need any other plugins?
Ahh, OK. So I didin't read properly that you were using a Harmony remote.
You might be having troubles with the keypresses being repeated. In the Harmony software, on the device tab, troubleshoot the device, device doesn't appear to receive every command correctly, device responds too much or too little to some commands...then reduce the repeats.
If that doesn't work try some of the other Harmony trouble shooting options. It'll be in there somewhere.
It could be some other application that is hooked into picking up the MS eHome Receiver buttonPress event before LMRKM, and doesn't pass the event along the chain. Do you have any applications running that might be doing this? I assume no other remote control apps like EventGhost or IR Server Suite are installed?
Also, you don't by any chance have 2 receivers plugged in? If so, I've found only 1 of them will trigger a remote buttonPress event, even though LMKMR detects 2 of them and can blast thru both.
